Fetchmail Ate my inbox!

Hello All.

I was messing around with Fetchmail on a Test Email account. Here's what my fetchmailrc file looks like:

Code:
poll imap.gmail.com proto IMAP fetchall
ssl

When I ran this, it removed all the test emails from my Google Account. There were a few emails that I needed, however, I can still access them from my Linux machine, but would like to know if there was a way that I can move the email from my linux machine back to Google. Is there such a way I can do this, or am I screwed, and have to just read those emails I "lost" from my Linux box?

I believe for this not to happen again, I need to put "keep" in my fetchmail config file. But for now ... can I push those emails back to the server by any chance?

Regards,
Drew
